The Three Sumiyoshi Deities

History

The shrine's origins date back to 1733, when it was established following a proposal by Kishoku Kaien, a monk of the Shingon sect of Buddhism, who invited the three deities of Sumiyoshi and two subsidiary deities to be enshrined. In 1799, the shrine suffered damage from a major fire and was relocated to its current site. After World War II, it became independent from the Karakawa Inari Shrine. The current shrine buildings were completed in 1996.

What visitors say

This very beautiful shrine is located along the Honkawa River. The water purification fountain (temizuya) features automatic sensors, and there are shelves available for placing personal belongings. Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) are provided pre-written. While there is parking beneath the shrine grounds, the roads are narrow; therefore, visitors who lack confidence in their driving skills are recommended to use nearby coin-operated parking lots.
